The Ruffwear Overcoat Fuse harness jacket is a unique item in the world of dog gear—a single jacket-harness combination, providing thick and warm protection from moderately cold weather, with integrated secure attachments for a leash or trekking line. During our frequent cold weather snowshoeing outings, our dogs are used to wearing jackets beneath their various harnesses, for thermal, wind, and snow protection. They are always on trekking lines that attached us at one end, and to their harnesses… Full review

In over 45 years of backpacking with my dogs this is the best dog pack yet. It fits well with plenty of adjustment and is comfortable for the dog to wear on extended trips over various terrains.

The first was their smaller Approach dog… Full review

For a dog that doesn't conform to "normal" sizes/proportions, this coat does the trick. This coat offers adjustability for a small dog with a huge rib cage. It's hard to find a coat that fits this dog! I use this as a winter coat for my short-haired warm weather loving pup. I do not use it as a rain coat. Ease of Use & Features: This is a straightforward coat. It attaches itself using two large Velcro straps and has a small zippered opening at the base of the neck so a leash can be attached… Full review

Great harness for active dogs! I will purchase again, if it ever wears out. Ease of Use: This harness is a little clumsy to put on and take off (if your dog doesn't love having gear slipped over its head it may not be excited about putting the harness on), but its excellent performance outweighs that minor inconvenience. Features: The best thing about this harness for my dogs is the five points of adjustment—I can really make the harness fit their bodies so there is no slipping and ensure that… Full review
